Do you know what is the process of deciding to remove features like this in the first place? The social media integration seems to have a lot of features removed recently, and it's now pretty useless to me and a lot harder to use!

At the moment if someone crashes their car and 7 die, people would say, 'oh what a shame', yet tomorrow if driving was made illegal and they crashed and died under the exact same circumstances, suddenly they'd say, 'driving is illegal. The answer is to not drive'.

Why? They partook in a risky exercise both times. Yet one day the fault could lie with numerous factors, the next day the fault purely lies with it being illegal, and that they shouldn't be driving. Just because the government says it's 'ok' one day and 'bad' the next day, should that really impact peoples opinions so much, when exactly the same thing happened each day?

You could say on both days the answer is not to drive, or you could say on both days the answer is to address whatever went wrong that killed them and improve safety. So the comparison to driving doesn't seem so crazy to me. It seems weird to me many people swing their view solely because the government has made it illegal.

I think you're looking at the Glass movement from a very static standpoint. Google are pushing Glass for what it can become.

Everything you mention a mobile phone can do will eventually be part of Glass. Need to record something? Glass. Need to contact someone? Glass. Need GPS nav? Glass. Need an app for XYZ? Glass.

Why stick with a bit of tech that you have to cart around in your pocket or handbag, manually get out and look at to do any of those activities, when it could simply flash up in front of you, for only you to see? Mobile phones are getting sleeker and smaller, but we're not going to end up carrying 1x1inch phones as it's just not practical to have something so essential that small and loose, so why not put it in a more convenient place (i.e infront of your face) and thus attach it to some glasses?

The worry that people will look dorks wearing glass comes with most new tech - mobile phones of the 80's - people did look stupid, but they were ahead of the curve and people could see why the tech was helpful.

Glass isn't doing much more than a smartphone can, but it doesn't matter. Soon it'll do everything a smartphone can and deliver it in a manner which is more convenient.

Calling their bluff now by not giving into their demands is a better than waiting till their nuclear program is finished, and it's millions of your citizens lives in danger. The longer we wait the more arms they build. So yeah, I think it's stupid to keep funding them, and have no idea why someone didn't just call their bluff years ago.
